Mazrim Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Matinez for me. Yes, I like the odd sunday afternoon at the flicks too but what's that got to do with our manager search? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Im a big fan of Martinez so sorry to be pedantic Julie, but didn't Bruce sign those players? Apologies he did..... but they played really well under RM IIRC and he has picked up a few decent players himself. People also forget the legacy that Martinez founded at Swansea which Brendan Rodgers built on and got them to the PL. Thing is though Julie, he had time on his side with Swansea and laid those foundations down in the doldrums of the lower leagues. He would not be afforded that same time in the Prem sadly. It's hard not to like Martinez as a person, always speaks eloquently and appears a genuinely nice person however, this does not qualify someone to manage Aston Villa and his overall win percentage in the Premier League I should imagine is pretty sub-standard irrespective of who he's managed.

Jarpie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I don't think we've approached RM, at least not yet or otherwise DW would've been spouting crap about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Because Bruce had a better squad! Not a surprise when Martinez buys players like Mauro Boselli for 6.5mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I would take Martinez or lambert at this point.. We need to make the right choice though, Just hope Randy doesn't dither over a decision and hit the panic button Edit: Just realised that's my 1000th post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Jarpie I honestly think Villa have spoken to RM, to actually see if he's interested.Won't fall for the same trap as last season, I hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would also possibly look at making better use of players abroad, which would assist with getting us re-established in the top of the league without costing an arm & a leg immediately to supplement what we already have and the graduates we have coming through etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyp_avfc Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I wouldn't mine Poyet to be honest, he's young, plays good football, doesn't take any nonsense and will play the youngsters (brought through youngsters @ Brighton). Fits most of the catagories despite the Suarez incident.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My doubt with Martinez is that seems to go for south american players which tend to be very hit'n'miss, would rather get manager who knows central/southern european leagues because those players have probably better chance of succeeding in PL.

Gillz Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 It's equally exciting and frustrating. We have no idea currently who the board are considering. The one person we could be sure about was OGS and that has fallen through. Whilst it is frustrating that we the fans have no idea it has brought a sense of suspense and excitement. It could go both ways at this stage and i forever remain an optimist, albeit a naive one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adbo9 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 going by oddschecker the only gaffers with 10's are Grayson, Poyet and di Matteo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redditch_Villa Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I wouldn't mine Poyet to be honest, he's young, plays good football, doesn't take any nonsense and will play the youngsters (brought through youngsters @ Brighton). Fits most of the catagories despite the Suarez incident.... I myself have been warming to the idea of Poyet, attracted Vicente to Brighton, unless he is homosexual, thats pretty impressive.

Agreed, he looks outside of the Uk for players and as you say with Vicente who is a class act IMO he's not scared to go out and buy a player whos got a bigger reputation that the club.

Jarpie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 From H&V: Just been informed by a mate that its worth sticking some money on Gus Poyet. This is the same mate that told me about robbie keane signing for us 2 weeks before it made the news. currently at 10/1 Hopefully true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikhInTrinity Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I'd be happy with Poyet, also he attracted Vicente as he was quite a big name in Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
